"One of the early goals of the Race Team Alliance was to expand our membership, and after only a month in existence, we have accomplished that goal," MWR co-owner Rob Kauffman, the RTA's chairman, said in a statement released by the group. We now have virtually all the full-time teams participating. I think the membership as a whole is enthusiastic to get to work on some of the other items on our agenda, in particular some of the cost areas and marketing opportunities we have already identified."

The only notable full-time team missing from the RTA is Furniture Row Racing which is owned by Barney Visser.

The purpose of the not-for-profit organization is to create an open forum for the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series teams to explore areas of common interest and to work collaboratively on initiatives to help preserve, promote, and grow the sport of stock car racing. NASCAR's comments about the formation of the RTA has been guarded and NASCAR has said that they will continue as business as usual.
